Which term describes returning a fugitive to the state where the crime began?

• A. Extradition
• B. Deportation
• C. Repatriation
• D. Remand

Answer: (A)

Extradition is the process of returning a fugitive to the jurisdiction where the crime began so they can face charges there. This happens when someone commits a crime in one state and flees to another; the state where the crime occurred requests surrender and the other state provides it under law. In the United States, interstate extradition is supported by the Constitution and corresponding statutes, ensuring the accused is tried in the location of the offense. Deportation involves removing a person from a country for immigration reasons, repatriation is sending someone back to their home country, and remand refers to custody or sending a case back to a lower court. Extradition specifically covers transferring a fugitive to the place where the crime happened.
